BETA: 0.99.7d
Gamepad/Steam Deck:
Numerous bug fixes, as well as improvements to tooltips, the UI, and the game screen (for Steam Deck).
Version 0.99.7
A lot of work has been done to implement gamepad support. Since there are many nuances involved, gamepad support will be released in the beta branch for now.
If you are playing on Steam Deck, you may need to set a gamepad layout if one is not already applied. The game will attempt to display a message if it detects it is running on a Steam Deck without a gamepad layout enabled.
This update has been uploaded to the beta branch. If you want to play with the new pack now, right-click on Epic Auto Towers in your Steam library, then select "Properties..." -> "Betas" -> "beta - Beta Branch." In the library, the game will now look like this:
Specifically for players who enjoy playing with a controller, even on PC
More comprehensive support for Steam Deck
Subsequent porting to other platforms (of course, after the game exits early access)
These updates were primarily focused on improving the necromancer Towers.
Mushroom Tower: deals more poison damage, especially at higher levels
Werewolf Tower: base stats increased, and the bonus is boosted, especially at higher levels
Vampire Tower: gains more blood at higher levels
Memory Token: fixed effect freezing at the end of the turn
Fixed a crash at the start of the game when choosing the +1 HP and +1 damage bonus
Fixed a bug with relic duplication after defeating the boss if a bonus with a guaranteed reward was chosen
This update has been uploaded to the beta branch. If you want to play with the new pack now, right-click on Epic Auto Towers in your Steam library, then select "Properties..." -> "Betas" -> "beta - Beta Branch." In the library, the game will now look like this:
Dark Knight Tower: receives significantly more regeneration
Parrot Tower: repeats the chakra action of the tower to its right, as it also triggers at the end of the turn
Soul Vessel Tower: provides a greater bonus at higher levels
Fixed the application of 30% temporary bonuses from the Memory Token + effect
Fixed bonuses on ascensions 16 and 17: added both HP and damage bonuses
This update has been uploaded to the beta branch. If you want to play with the new pack now, right-click on Epic Auto Towers in your Steam library, then select "Properties..." -> "Betas" -> "beta - Beta Branch." In the library, the game will now look like this:

Dark Knight Tower: higher base stats

Version 0.98
New Inferno Tower upgrade mechanic on round three
New tower: Executioner Tower
Improvements for Imp Towers, Cerberus Towers, Ration Towers, and Cauldron Towers
The issue with rounds 32-34 was the absence of monsters – while some towers rely on monster spawns. Consequently, these towers were not functioning in rounds 32-34 (e.g., the Honey Tower, Slime Tower, etc.).
To fix this, invisible monsters were added to levels 32-34. However, they proved to be so malicious that they caused numerous errors, including game crashes in the statistics screen in some cases.
Ultimately, I decided to roll back the changes to version 0.97 until another solution to the aforementioned problem can be found.
Thank you to everyone who reported these bugs.
Version 0.97c & 0.97d
Fixed a bug in rounds 32-34: if a Tower has a feature during battle phase and is removed permanently during battle (Honey Tower and similar), it broke the game
Related to the bug above: incorrect statistics on the victory screen no longer crash the game
Fix for standard game speed with a large number of Towers with effects at end of turn or during battle: in rounds 32-34, rounds were skipped sometimes
Bugfixes
I've added the ability to select a previous version in the Steam beta versions menu. For example, if a previous version was working stably for you, you can choose it if you encounter bugs in the new one.
Version 0.97b
In the rounds leading up to the final boss, Towers that trigger during combat (Slime, Honey Tower, Gargoyle, etc.) will now function. Previously, some Towers were not working in rounds 32-34 because there were no battles. This has now been fixed, but it's a potentially risky fix: if you encounter any bugs in rounds 32-34, please report them via the bug submission form.
Version 0.97
Fixed interaction between Stone of Refinement and Spider Queen Tower from Cocoon Tower
Pumpkin Tower counter
Added tags to X, poison, %
Fixed auto-buying potions and destroyed Tower while purchasing a potion
Share your tower ideas for a "Royal Pack Plus"!
There are several towers that were drawn for the Royal Set, but weren't used in it. It would be difficult to incorporate them into the current Royal Set without disrupting the existing balance and gameplay of that set. However, I had an idea: to create an expanded "Royal Set Plus" with these towers. The new set would be the last one, after the Necromancer Set, and it's planned to be based on the Royal Set: that is, it would include all the current towers of the Royal Set, plus new towers.
I think this will be a fun set, without a strong focus on balance, but we'll see how it goes.
Your ideas for towers are welcome!
The form at the link below will list the new towers (name, picture, sometimes rarity). If you have an idea about what a tower could do, it would be great if you could fill out the form (not necessarily the whole thing, you can just write about one tower, for example).
